107,073 | Implanon | birth control | "I started this birth control in February 2012. The numbing stuff hurt just like a normal shot, but after that I could just feel her touching my arm nothing else. For about a week later my arm was bruised and slightly sore when I lifted things, but nothing bad. My arm is fine now, just a tiny scar and of course you can... | 10 | September 8, 2012 | 1 |
197,914 | Metoprolol | atrial fibrillation | "I started metaprolol 12.5 mg once a day 6 weeks ago after having an electrical cardioconversion for a rapid, irregular heartbeat. I take blood pressure and pulse 2times/ day and it is averaging 107/71, pulse 63- working well. It took me a good 4 weeks to adapt to the tough side effects though.

Since taking the spiro, I haven'... | 7 | July 22, 2016 | 10 |
59,512 | Avelox | sinusitis | "The only problem I have with this medication so far is how expensive it is. So far the only side effects I have had are a light-headed feeling.

206,028 | Pristiq | depression | "I've been taking Pristiq (50 mg) for the past 8 or 9 weeks for depression. For the past 10 years, I'd taken Effexor XR (450 mg) for depression and panic attacks. It completely kicked the panic. I was also taking 450 mg of Wellbutrin SR with the Effexor and still take it along with the Pristiq. The first 4 days were a... | 8 | November 3, 2008 | 111 |
131,576 | Effexor XR | generalized anxiety disorde | "I've been on Effexor for quite a few years now taking 112.5mg. I didn't have any problems with this med but have been wanting to simplify my regime. So 112.5 to 75mg saw no real withdrawal or return of depression or anxiety. But, 75mg to 37.5mg, I cannot bear. I feel awful, irritable, nasty, and even aggressive at... | 6 | July 27, 2017 | 12 |
136,469 | Entyvio | crohn's disease | "I decided to discontinue after the 4th infusion. Very expensive which might have been worth it had it improved diarrhea.

121,933 | Venlafaxine | depression | "This medicine was WAY too strong for me. I'm 5'8" and 135 pounds, but the minimum dose knocked me out the first night I started taking it, I had twitchy, bizarre dreams, woke up the next morning feeling "stoned", had a headache and stomachache, shaky hands and the jitters all day and my pupils were hugely dilated. T... | 1 | September 5, 2012 | 40 |

862 | Silodosin | benign prostatic hyperplasia | "I have been getting up 3-4 times every night and finally decided to try medication again. (previously tried Flomax which did nothing for me) Rapaflo, after 4 days gave me only a headache, diarrhea and at best a 20% flow increase.

192,530 | Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "I have been on Gianvi for 8 months now. At first I was an emotional wreck, like almost all the reviews on here, but after your body gets used to the added hormone it does go away. It took about 3 months for the acne to go away also. After about the 3 month mark Gianvi was perfect for me. I have no bloating when my per... | 10 | December 13, 2012 | 9 |

93,958 | Trintellix | depression | "I sure hope me writing this can help someone avoid the prolonged agony I experienced on Trintellix. I started with a 5 mg dose for one month.

186,302 | Desvenlafaxine | depression | "Made me thirsty to the point of headaches at first, as well as insomnia at first, but then it evened out. It helped me concentrate and stay awake, and I felt generally happier and more active. 100 mgs made me ridiculously manic and upset, but 50 mg was perfect for me. I simply quit it when it stopped working." | 8 | April 11, 2012 | 0 |
60,257 | NuvaRing | birth control | "I love my Nuvaring! I just stick it in for three weeks and forget it's even there. The first few months I was constantly checking to make sure it was still there because I couldn't feel it.

I was on Yaz be... | 10 | December 8, 2011 | 2 |
130,444 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "Although the insertion was excruciatingly painful (Keep in mind I have a super sensitive cervix i.e even pap smears are uncomfortable) I loved my Mirena and I had it in for 3 years.

221,976 | Fluconazole | candida urinary tract infection | "I'm a 30yo male and I recently picked up a painful candida infection. Ironically, this was worsened by the doctor prescribing me antibiotics in the initial belief that it must be a bacterial STI. Men can and do get thrush!
